Whilst the supply of arrows is available a retinue Bow stand may use a ‘Right Sharp Shower’. If
used the stand will have 2 bow attacks. However, there will be a chance that a unit of Retinue
Archers that use the ‘Right Sharp Shower’ will exhaust their supply of available arrows. To
simulate this each time a unit uses a ‘Right Sharp Shower’ a d6 must be rolled, on a result of a 1 the
arrows are near exhaustion and the unit may only shoot every other turn and not use the ‘Right
Sharp Shower’ again. Each attempt to use adds a + 1 penalty modifier to the base number, so on
second use a roll of 1 or 2 will mean arrows are in short supply.

2UGHUV
At the beginning of a game each battle must be given an objective, i.e. attack, defend, and advance.
If the command element is killed then the unit will continue with the last issued orders until
changed by new orders conveyed from a herald. Each battle leader has 1 herald.
